Notepad works, so I'll check out what UltraEdit is doing... I
generally default to "Courier New".

Sjouke, Thanks for the pointers!

This is not related to the font, but the character encoding (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_encoding ). If it is Unicode, two
bytes are used for one character. Try Ctrl-H in UltraEdit and you'll see if
it is in ASCII or Unicode. If it is Unicode, you can use
File->Convert->Unicode To ASCII (PS: I have the German version of
Ultraedit, I don't know the exact English names of the menu points).

Where did the file come from originally- perhaps it was created as
Unicode? This may help:

Thanks, Frank! UltraEdit has many more bells and whistles than I've
learned to use... I just used it to edit a 77,000 line IBIS model...
really nice find-and-replace features!
